+
+Three live runs against local ACE (`127.0.0.1:9000`, `+Acdream`,
+`lifecycle-smoke` policy, temporary seeder diagnostics since reverted):
+
+- **Run 1 (declared: IgnoreAllegianceRequests=true, ListenToTradeChat=true,
+  SalvageMultiple=true):** the seeder sent exactly two `SetSingleOption`
+  diffs (`IgnoreAllegianceRequests` false→true auto-save;
+  `SalvageMultiple` false→true batched) plus ONE `SaveOptions (0x01A1)`
+  flush; `ListenToTradeChat` was already true and sent nothing. After the
+  policy's own portal AND a genuine mid-run reconnect (fresh ACE
+  `PlayerDescription`), all three reported `already ..., no send` —
+  proving ACE accepted and persisted both wire paths within the session.
+- **Run 3 (fresh process, SalvageMultiple flipped to false):** the fresh
+  seed echoed `SalvageMultiple=true` from run 1 — a value ONLY the run-1
+  `0x01A1` blob could have carried (batched id, never `0x0005`), which is
+  the cross-process ACE-persistence proof. The flip sent one
+  `SetSingleOption` + one `SaveOptions` and nothing for the other two
+  ids; post-portal and post-reconnect re-diffs were silent.
+- Both runs: no pre-LoginComplete sends observed, no ACE refusals,
+  graceful zero-code exits, `disposed` with converged runtime and zero
+  leases. Pre-existing noise unrelated to OP7, noted for the record: an
+  unmapped `[weenie-error] code=0x051D`, and the K4 resource envelope's
+  `handle-count` violation (the `k4-linux-30-session` Linux profile
+  evaluated on Windows).
